Context of the observation

The word "Sukuma Wiki" is a mix of English and regional Swahili (Sukuma: "push", "Wiki": week). So it literally means: "pushes you through the week". It is a nutritious vegetable rich in vitamins. This type of food (kale) has come to Kenya in the 1960s. It is product of daily usage and is part in every kenyan kitchen and restaurant.
